Anne Douglass (Loud) (1964)

Theresa,

Here is a photo of me and Jeff Johannes at his 1962 senior prom. It seems leis were part of the prom wardrobe back then.

Andrea and me from the Senior Prom in 1967. I was definitely a "dork"!! She made the dress and still had it when we reconnected in 2001. My oldest granddaughter, Amarisa (Ami)(17 years old), who has a thin physique, tried the dress on after Andrea passed away. She couldn't fit into the dress. She said, "Wow!! Grandma was really thin."

Burke:  Lovely 1967 picture of you both.  Yes, the dresses are so small.  At least the dress was saved.  Here is a vintage 1962 Commencement Dress worn by Mary Eve, today worn by her Granddaughter Alyssa Rubiales. I saved the dress and had it boxed.  Still looks like new.

Thanks to Theresa for coming up with a fun idea to post Prom, etc pix.There has to be others out there! Dig thru your old albums and find some more to post :-)

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Anne, great pic of you and Jeff, you look like you are just getting ready to go the Dance :-) and Same for Burke and Andrea, great pic, When these pix were taken, I wonder if we had any idea that we would be looking back at them 60+ years later and remembering those time!

Greg. When Andrea and I reconnected after 34 years,we spent about a month talking on the phone before we met face-to-face. We talked about our high school years and realized that we both still had our Senior Prom picture. We had some great memories looking at it. Being a life long bachelor until we got married, I told her that had "imprinted" on me during those high school years. That's why I never got married. We both laughed very hard.

We blew up the Senior Prom picture and had it as part of a display at our wedding. Our friends asked about our "love story" since we got married 8 months after we reconnected.

Focusing back on the original Woodland High School on College Street, these pictures from 1965 are sad to see.  The original building will remain in my memory as the Woodland High School.  (This was posted on the other Face Book Woodland Post, which was so historical to share.)

Has there many interest shown in a 60's reunion for the Class of 64?  I appreciate it's a lot of work organizing but given our age could be one of our last (refuse to say last)!  


03/10/24 12:50 PM #7895    

Frances Handley (Jones) (1964)

Yes,Sandy , it would be nice to even have just a casual get-together...Maybe in early September as we have always done....Just a chance to see everyone and chat. It's hard I know with so many of us living out of town, but maybe someone can figure out a way to do it. I heard that the class of '62 did something similar and it was very sucessful!

1964 Reunion is a Must to Gather.  We should start something now.  We have had some good locations in the past, may revisit that, Hotel Woodland, Flier's Club, new locations in Woodland I see also.  Great ideas to start.  It should be a comforable location for seating.   


03/11/24 06:43 PM #7897    

Buni Murphy (Panick) (1964)

Yes to a reunion this year. Some one local get it started. I'm sure someone does have a list of names and addresses either physical or e-mail. I can/will do whatever I can from Santa Rosa.  Yep, we be getting older every year. Let's do this before we can't. There must be some one who likes/loves to organize these things. Orvie, you do a great job with a golf day, how about a golf day and party night. There are a few of us that get together every year or so and we love each other but it would be great to see those who we haven't seen for years. Let's do this. Some one step up make it happen Please

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Burke, that is a great story about you and Andrea, thanks for sharing the memories. It just goes to show that there are many fun memories, still to be told and remembered :-)

To the class of 1964, I will say, that for our 60th reunioun, we rented the Legion Hall across from the elks club, and instead of trying to decide how to do food, Don came up with the idea of having a Mexican Food Truck park behind the building, we could order anything we wanted, or not. I'm sure it made organizing much easier and less complicated. Entertainment was Bill Tongren putting together a Power Point that contained old pix from Ilex's and Orange Peals, looping on a big screen TV. To the class of 1964, if you don't do it now, you never willsmiley

My profile picture was taken about 10 months before Andrea passed away. Besides Andrea, our twin daughters, Shaston (next to me) and Sofia, are in the picture. Shaston is the oldest by less than 1 minute and has 4 kids (1 stepson). Sofia has 5 kids.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Greg:  Thank you.  Your 1962 Class Reunion was so fun at the Legion Hall.  It was very easy to talk with everyone and the Mexican Food Truck was outstanding.  Don had a great idea for the easy food.  Just wondering if the space is big enough for our 1964 class.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Smokey Rico just called me and he is reaching out to people who can give their time for organizing that Woodland High School 1964 Class Reunion.  If you can call him he would appreciate all the help to get the ball rolling down the hill.  (530) 219-0122.  Thank you Smokey for heading up a group.  


03/12/24 12:08 PM #7903    

Frances Handley (Jones) (1964)

Smokey: Thanks for stepping up! If there is anything those of us who don't live there can do for you, just let us know..  We would be glad to help in any way we can..Hopefully September will work out as we will be in Woodland then!  Thanks again..!

Liz Geer (Sullivan) (1964)

Sounds great!  Food truck - excellent. If it keeps it simpler/easier maybe not have band - just good connversation with everyone.  Thanks Smokey!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Thank you Liz, input for our class is so important.  Especially with traveling needed for planning.  Thank you.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Greg Kareofelas:  Back to the good times at your 1962 Class Reunion.  Was the name of the red food truck from Woodland, Mariscos El Viejon, (530) 665-0926.  I would ask Don, but he is in Heaven.  I went back on our Forum exchange, and he did not mention the name of the food truck, just his idea, so great.  Simple and casual seems the style.  Thank you Greg, Smokey wanted the name of the truck you used.

Bill Torngren (1962)

To the Class of '64, here is the food truck Don arranged for the combined '61-'62 reunion.  They did not require a guarantee at the time.
